Liber Feudorum Maior,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or the "Greater Book of Feuds," is a royal cartulary produced under the order of Alfonso X of Castile, also known as Alfonso the Wise, in the late 13th century. This important historical document, which is considered a masterpiece of Romanesque art, is depicted in this stunning print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image shows a lord and his vassal in a formal setting, likely engaged in the process of recording a feudal transaction. The lord, dressed in the regal attire of the time, sits at a table, surrounded by scribes and other officials, while his vassal, clad in armor and bearing a sword, stands before him. The vassal's hands are placed on a book, symbolizing his oath of fealty and loyalty to the lord. The Liber Feudorum Maior was a crucial document in the administration of the kingdom of Castile during Alfonso X's reign. It contained records of feudal grants, privileges, and obligations, and was an essential tool for maintaining the complex system of feudal relationships that underpinned medieval society. The cartulary also reflected the king's desire to centralize and standardize the administration of his realm, as well as his interest in legal and historical matters. This beautiful depiction of a lord and his vassal, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, offers a glimpse into the world of medieval Castile and the intricate web of feudal relationships that shaped its history. The Romanesque style, with its bold lines, geometric patterns, and ornate decoration, adds to the sense of grandeur and importance of the scene. Overall, this print is a valuable historical and artistic treasure, shedding light on the past and the enduring legacy of Alfonso X and the kingdom of Castile.
